I've rec'd cursory interest from International House, Naples. Any input out there on this school? Does anyone know how expensive it is to live in Naples? The school is offering only 850 Euros a month to teach 25 hours, which I'm afraid might be very low for living in Naples, but I don't know. Any constructive input would be much appreciated.

Oh, and other than telling me that they are interested in getting a contract signed right away, all that they have informed me so far is that it's 25 teaching hours and 850 Euros. This is my first attempt at obtaining a teaching position. What sorts of things should I be asking them?

Thanks Tawny, for your response. I'm fine with not being able to save any money while I'm teaching in Naples, but will I be able to support myself on 850 Euros a month? I know that being a new teacher, I'm a little slow in preparing lesson plans, so I won't have any extra time for quite a long time for doing any 1:1 teaching to pick up extra money.

Is Naples in particular chaotic, or just every place that far south?

I've searched through Dave's ESL, but I haven't seen other helpful postings. You mentioned that there are some... could you point me in the right direction?
